A protective layer for an ironing board comprises an overlay portion and an edge that extends over an entirety of sides of a top surface of an ironing board to prevent slippage of the protective layer from the ironing board. The protective layer includes a plurality of tabs extending from the edge, each tab having a hole positioned therein for hanging items from the protective layer. The protective layer is stretchable to fit over the top surface of an ironing board, and the plurality of tabs are positioned on each elongated side of the protective layer and on a back portion thereof. The protective layer may be part of an ironing board cover that includes a padded textile base section to form a smooth, heat-reflective and secure ironing surface.

A portable patchwork sewing tool kit includes: a base plate, the inner face thereof is provided with a first page and a second page which can be folded or unfolded optionally; a rotary cutting mat fixed to the first page, the rotary cutting mat comprises a bottom plate and a cutting plate pad screwed on the bottom plate through a pivot joint base to be rotated under stress; a detachable ironing mat fixed to the second page, including a core board, a cotton spreading layer covering the core board and a cotton fabric surface layer covering the cotton spreading layer, an ironing face formed outside the cotton fabric surface layer; and a plurality of pushing edges formed around the cutting plate pad and spaced apart.

A system iron according to the present invention includes a body including a steam generator for generating steam; an ironing plate rotatably disposed on the body and spraying the steam, which is generated by the steam generator, to an outside thereof, a top being hung on an outer side of the ironing plate; a spreading unit for tensioning the top hung on the outer side of the ironing plate; a front press for holding a front surface of the top, which is hung on the outer side of the ironing plate; and a pair of arm tensioners for tensioning sleeves of the top hung on the outer side of the ironing plate.

The instant invention provides for novel lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations, containing cationic lipids, for use as vaccine adjuvants and/or as antigen delivery systems. It is an object of the instant invention to provide LNP formulations that demonstrate enhancements in humoral and/or cellular immunogenicity of vaccine antigens, particularly subunit vaccine antigens, when utilized alone or in combination with immunostimulatory agents (e.g. small molecule or oligonucleotide TLR agonists). The instant invention further identifies physical and chemical properties of the LNP formulations that can be manipulated to enhance antigen efficiency and adjuvant tolerability in vivo.
